Tu Mero Mole (San Jose): Chicken Mole Nachos

Tu Mero Mole? Again? Yes, again! Why? This place has such a variety of meats to add to their various delectable dishes that it keeps me coming back over and over to try the many possible iterations of their always tasty nachos.This time I chose to go with their namesake, chicken Mole. To be honest, I've heard mixed reviews of Tu Mero Mole's Mole from the various people that I've come here with. Some think it's "unique" and some think it sucks. As a topping for a plate of nachos I found it to be pretty darn tasty. The sweet and savory flavor combined with the sour cream and guacamole plus the texture of the chips and meat made for a complex, yet rich and satisfying flavor that I thoroughly enjoyed.Rating: 3½ out of 5Rating Notes: Interesting mix of flavors, but unfortunately, Tu Mero Mole always loses a point for their chicken being grilled and a little dry instead of shredded and juicy, no matter what sauce it's combined with. They also don't use fried tortilla chips, so they lose ½ a point there as well.Map to Location:http://mapq.st/VM5rfZ
